Stormy Daniels was arrested in Ohio early Thursday morning after performing at Sirens in Columbus. Stormy is the adult film actress who shot to fame after suing President Donald Trump following claims that they had an affair.

Stormy’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, has said he believes that the arrest was a “politically motivated” setup.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, faced three misdemeanor charges after being accused of grabbing the rear of an undercover officer who was at her scheduled show. She was later released after posting bail to the amount of $6,054, according to CNN, and the charges were later dropped.

Avenatti tweeted earlier: “She was arrested for allegedly allowing a customer to touch her while on stage in a nonsexual manner! Are you kidding me? They are devoting law enforcement resources to sting operations for this? There has to be higher priorities.”

Avenatti argued that Stormy was performing the same routine that she had been doing regularly across the nation as she toured dozens of strip clubs.

“This was a setup & politically motivated. It reeks of desperation,” another Avenatti tweet said. “We will fight all bogus charges.”
